PK: Expect suspensions galore for Saints

[Williams is] in the biggest trouble and will likely get a significant suspension, at least half the season. Coach Sean Payton and GM Mickey Loomis will be banned for a time too, for not exercising the kind of institutional control they should have.

Vilma is going down, and I suspect other player leaders could be banned for games too. Not that they’re all still Saints, but I have to wonder how the league will manage the suspension if, say, six Saints are banned for a game or more. Will Goodell stagger them? Or will the Saints be missing half their defense for Week 1?

Also worth noting is that Brett Favre was surprised by the severity and timing of the hits the Saints delivered in defeating Favre's Vikings in the 2009 NFC title game, and King expects New Orleans OC Pete Carmichael would likely stand in for Payton if the coach is suspended.

IMO, the players involved should each get a year, and Vilma should be banned for life. Those are players who don't give a shit about their own fellow players' livelihoods. The word "despicable" doesn't do it justice . . .
